Any reason why it does not give me a normal text listing of the file?
With more I get something like this:

Code:

# more /var/log/cups/error_log
I [18/Nov/2009:17:04:49 +0000] Listening to ::1:631 (IPv6)

Anybody have any ideas??? How can I get less to display text like more??

EDIT: less displays output just fine with every other file. its just this one....really strange.
